Hello, I'm running Windows 11, 64 bit, and was using Calibre 6.16 when I realized that my book details pane was only showing book covers. I checked Preferences > Look & feel > Book Details and verified that I had metadata selected to display - formats, series, tags, data from custom columns, etc. Next I selected several different books in my library, and opened Edit Metadata to verify that appropriate metadata existed to display. The metadata showed in Edit Metadata, but not in the book details pane.

If I select a book in the library and double-tap the book cover shown in the book details pane, the book details window opens and shows all of the metadata it should be showing, per items selected in the book details window Configure dialog. But the book details pane still only shows the book cover - no scroll bar, and the only things I've been able to change via the Preferences > Look & feel > Book Details dialog are toggling book cover display and book cover size display on/off. Checking and unchecking metadata to display has no effect. I've never seen this happen before, and haven't been able to find anything about it in the forum.

I have rebooted, cold booted, changed selected metadata in Preferences > Look & feel > Book Details, set Preferences > Look & feel > Book Details back to the default settings, switched the main interface view from wide to narrow (and back), resized the book details pane, checked a bunch of new and old books in my library, and updated to Calibre 6.21. Nothing has helped. I'm not sure exactly when this problem started, other than sometime in the past week, as I'd mostly been working in the Edit Metadata view, but I've tried everything I can think of short of a clean reinstallation of Calibre. Are there other things I should look at, or is it time for a clean install?

Advice much appreciated, thanks!
